I'm the noisy one in my hall. I have like 10 machines, 2 disk arrays and some noisy managed/fc switches. I have to use noise canceling headphones. A double whammy for the co-worker next to me is that our offices share a thermostat. My office drives up the AC, so she is always cold. One of these days I'll put in the request to have fiber wired from my office to my lab so I can move this stuff out.

Wat? Noisy people are distracting and prevent work.

I guess he's not the only one with not enough to do. I rarely accomplish everything on my daily list and feel like taking bathroom breaks is cheating. I wish I had time to worry about what anyone other than my staff are doing.

How does rude behavior=worrying about what other people are doing? The whole point is we DON'T want to worry about what others are doing.

How can you not comprehend that?

When someone points a gun at your head are you going to complain about his snapping his gum? Get over the noise issue and get the fricken job done!

So, let me guess what you do for a living. You're a steel plated silhouette of a duck at a carnival booth?
I think you lost your mind. It's impossible to distract someone when they are as gone as you.

It's ok, some of us have real jobs with multiple critical daily deadlines that won't wait for you to focus, find a quiet moment or, allow yourself to be distracted by another cube monkey. Produce, try to raise the standard and, gtf out of my way.

Lol, strong words from a target duck. Your reading comprehension sucks. I don't sit in a cube. I sit in a conference room. It's in the corner of the building on the top floor with an ocean view in prime real estate.
Have fun being a rotating duck.
